Chapter 1010: Chapter 598: First "Interaction" with the Baby, Next Time He’ll Be Little Uncle

Ruan Mengxi pursed her lips, wondering why she had to encounter this situation. Shen Shuci was pregnant and couldn’t be expected to support him the whole time.

"Why are you the one supporting him? Where are the others?"

"They’re all busy. I was originally going to help him back to his room with Huo Ran. Just now, someone ran past us to the bathroom, probably to vomit, so I told him to go check it out."

At this moment, Ruan Mengxi couldn’t afford to worry about too much else. She hurried over and put Qi Zeyan’s arm around her shoulder, "I’ll take him over there. Which room is he in?"

"5277, the room key is in his jacket pocket. Could you please take him? I’ll go over there and check to make sure they stop drinking."

Ruan Mengxi wanted her to hurry and rest, but Shen Shuci’s strides were large. As soon as she adjusted her hold on Qi Zeyan, that person had already walked several meters ahead, her steps entirely unlike those of a pregnant woman.

She sighed and caught a glimpse of the person beside her out of the corner of her eye.

What kind of misfortune had she gotten herself into? She had already resigned from being his assistant, yet now that he was drunk, she still had to take care of him?

In the elevator, they encountered some hotel guests. A gentleman gallantly lent a hand, but when they reached the designated floor, she had to rely on her own strength.

Despite her strength, the disparity between male and female strength was apparent, and she struggled. By the time they reached the room door, Ruan Mengxi was already gasping for air.

"Stand still, I need to get the key." Ruan Mengxi propped him against the wall and reached into his jacket pocket to feel for the room card.

But after searching for a while, she came up empty.

This shouldn’t be...

Her aunt had clearly said it was in his jacket pocket.

"Where’s your room key?"

Qi Zeyan seemed to understand her words, opened his eyes slightly, and touched the area around his chest. Ruan Mengxi frowned, aware that some clothing had pockets sewn inside. Could it be in there?

She reached in slightly and felt something that seemed to have the shape of a room card...

The position was more inward, and she couldn’t directly reach in through his collar. She had to brace herself, "Second Boss, I’ll need to unbutton you a bit."

Qi Zeyan, in a daze, thought, Unbutton me?

Is she trying to undress me?

How could this woman be so bold?

When she was his assistant, Ruan Mengxi had helped him with his suits, but those were situations where the person and the clothing were separate. This was the first time she was helping him undress...

Her fingers grazed the top button, and her palm inexplicably grew warm.

And Qi Zeyan, having drunk too much, kept his head down. His breath, tinged with alcohol, felt like a flame, gently blowing against the back of her hand, making her entire body feel hot.

Her fingertips felt as if they were sweaty and slippery...

She couldn’t seem to unbutton it.

After four attempts, she finally managed to get it open, and then on to the second one...

As she focused entirely on unbuttoning him, footsteps suddenly echoed from not far away, followed by a familiar figure appearing in her view.

Inside the hotel, with the heat turned up, he wore only a slightly thin white shirt, sleeves rolled up to the elbows, paired with simple, neat black suit trousers.

Exuding an aura of indulgent restraint.

"F... Fifth Master?"

Tang Wan wasn’t coming home to stay tonight, so Jiang Jinsang must be at the hotel with her. The rooms organized by the Huo Family were all handled collectively by the hotel and were mostly concentrated in one area.

He had returned to his room first, but now he was coming over to escort his wife from the Shen family’s elder’s suite.

And coincidentally stumbled upon these two.

Qi Zeyan’s coat was open, and Ruan Mengxi was reaching inside with effort, seemingly trying to feel for something?

It mainly appeared that Qi Zeyan didn’t look completely unconscious, as his eyes were still open...

Ruan Mengxi immediately saw from his expression that he was misunderstanding the situation, "Fifth Master, actually, we..."

"I’m just passing by." Jiang Jinsang coughed lightly.

"Do you want to help me out a bit?"

Jiang Jinsang frowned. What did she mean by that? Asking him to join in the search...

"I’m going to pick up Wanwan." Jiang Jinsang stated bluntly.

"Fifth Master, he’s drunk. I’m looking for the room card, we..."

"G... Go back to the room," Qi Zeyan, who hadn’t spoken all this while, suddenly interjected.

Jiang Jinsang smiled, "I also think you two should head back to the room. That would be best, considering... the hotel’s corridor does have security cameras, and it wouldn’t look good."

Jiang Jinsang had originally thought Qi Zeyan might be completely out of it, yet he still knew to head back to the room?

In that case, it’s better to leave them be.

**

Jiang Jinsang picked up Tang Wan and returned to the room by the same route; the corridor was already empty.

He pursed his lips:

Quite a swift move.

"... Brother Huo’s friends can really drink. I bet he’ll definitely be drunk tonight," Tang Wan had no clue what exactly happened in this corridor, "Grandpa was very sentimental today and talked a lot about my mom."

"Certainly, they don’t want to let go." When Jiang Jinsang passed by room 5277’s door, he gave it a meaningful glance.

"What are you looking at?" Tang Wan examined the guest room, it was ordinary, no different from the others.

"Nothing much, hurry back and rest. The child from the Xi Family has been clinging to you all day, you must be exhausted."

"Not really. He’s actually quite obedient," Tang Wan laughed, "Master is only in Beijing for two or three days, I want to invite him home for a meal tomorrow."

"Okay, I’ll arrange it," Jiang Jinsang tightly held her hand, "It’s not easy for him to come over, can’t he stay a few more days?"

"My sister-in-law is pregnant again; if it wasn’t for my aunt’s wedding, he wouldn’t have wanted to leave home. Master loves kids, and with another baby coming, he must be really excited."

"How many do you want?"

"I think two, like Jiangjiang and Taotao, so close in age they can play together."

"Are you reminding me to work harder in the future?"

After all, having two in three years really does require effort.

"..."

Tang Wan had no such intention, just got misunderstood by someone.

She coughed lightly, awkwardly changing the topic, "By the way, did Xixi leave? She said she was going to help my aunt earlier, then disappeared."

Jiang Jinsang directly said, "She should be with Zeyan."

Tang Wan chuckled without saying much, thinking Jiang Jinsang was joking to tease her, after all, those two never really started, and Ruan Mengxi’s crush had ended.

Lately, their relationship had probably stayed at the level of mutual likes on social media; how could they be together?

"Don’t joke like that; it’d be bad if they heard," Tang Wan intentionally reminded him, "Their relationship is quite normal now, don’t stir things up."

"I’m not joking," Jiang Jinsang replied seriously, "Nor am I messing things up."

Their relationship has been tangled and complicated, not needing him to mess with it, already chaotic.

When the couple returned to the room, Tang Wan was still over half a month from her due date, her feet and calves were quite swollen. After a simple wash, Jiang Jinsang helped massage her legs.

Tang Wan suddenly felt the baby move in her belly and immediately put Jiang Jinsang’s hand onto it...

This was Jiang Jinsang’s first experience of what it was like to feel fetal movement.

The sensation was amazing.

"Did you feel it?" Tang Wan excitedly looked at him.

"Yeah."

"I’ve told you before, there’s actually no pattern to it; it’s not that the baby rejects you, so every time you touch, he doesn’t move."

"I understand." Jiang Jinsang’s hand remained on her rounded belly, cautiously; before he hadn’t felt fetal movements, always assuming the baby moved a lot.

There’s always a feeling of it wanting to come out and a moment’s worry slipped through his mind.

"Wanwan, let’s go to the hospital earlier for delivery."

"Didn’t we set the date to go next week?" Tang Wan laughed, "You just massaged my legs, go wash your hands then sleep."

As Jiang Jinsang washed his hands, he still seemed to feel the sensation left in his palm from the fetal movement, indescribably marvelous, something filled his heart, warming him inside out.

This was his first "interaction" with his child, a moment to be commemorated.

But since the pregnancy journal was still at home, there was no way to record his feelings in real-time. Before sleep, Jiang Jinsang specially noted this day on his phone.

[First time feeling the baby, I believe he felt me too, the sensation is subtle, novel, and exciting.]

**

And that night, Jiang Jinsang unprecedentedly posted a social media update, saying today was a very wonderful day, everyone thought he was subtly referencing the wedding of Huo Qinqi and Shen Shuci.

Then Jiang Chengsi commented below:

[Indeed, farewell ’Old Huo’, next time we’ll meet, he’ll be your ’Uncle-in-law’.]

Jiang Jinsang pursed his lips and replied: [Not just mine, he’s also your Uncle-in-law.]

Jiang Chengsi was staying at the Hexi house with Jiang Shiyi tonight and was already quite frustrated; seeing this reply, he angrily shouted and pounded the wall...

Jiang Shiyi was in the study writing an experimental report, hearing the frantic wall-pounding, he frowned slightly:

This kid is insane?

Don’t break the wall.
